Even though we don’t know what it is, let’s hope it’s some kind of new music. The band’s last full-length release was their 2016 album The Serenity of Suffering.

Last month, Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch opened up about the band’s upcoming album, and it sounded epic.

Welch talked about the studio sessions for the new album to SiriusXM’s Jose Mangin.

“I’ve never seen Jonathan (Davis) work so hard on a record since ‘Untouchables.’ He’s always involved, don’t get me wrong, but he has a different passion, because he went through a lot last year. He has time, he has energy, he has pain and he just grabbed the record. It’s so special.”

He also said the band is feuding with their label about the release date, so that is still up in the air.

“We are kind of in a little argument with the label about the date, so we’re trying to keep it all peaceful, things happen. But it’s coming out,” he said.

Korn is co-headlining a summer tour with Alice In Chains, with Underoath as a special guest and FEVER 333 and HO99O9 opening select dates. Welch also discussed that tour during the interview.

“Alice In Chains has their own thing. They’re iconic. We wouldn’t be doing what we’re doing if it wasn’t for bands like Alice In Chains,” he said. “And then we wanted to throw a band with energy before them. Underoath has a great energy, and the Fever. So it’s just a great mix of different styles and everything. So I’m so excited, but it’s like a dream come true to tour with Alice In Chains.”

More Korn news

Huckabee hosts a talk show on a Christian-based TV network where Welch recently appeared to discuss his new documentary about recovery, Loud Krazy Love.

The two also performed Korn’s “Blind” together. While the guitarist was just there to promote his documentary, he wasn’t expecting the reaction online.

Welch discussed the appearance on his Instagram, saying he and Huckabee “may agree or disagree on certain social issues; I don’t know. I’ve never talked to him about politics, and I don’t follow politics.”

In case you’re out of the loop, Huckabee is notoriously anti-abortion, supports the death penalty and stood against Obamacare among other things. The two are both of the same religious ideology though so it’s not shocking Welch doesn’t care about Huckabee’s history.

After becoming addicted to drugs, Welch took a step back from a multi-million dollar record deal to become a good father to his young daughter. His documentary, addresses teen depression, faith and finding a sense of identity. You can check out the trailer in the player below.
